"Big" Sub for small money

Peter956, 26.05.2012

I was looking for replacement for a JBL Control SB-1. The foam beads of all four woofers were crumbled after 19 years. Since spare drivers (C1003) cost 44 euro per piece, I looked for another sub in the price class. I am on the t.Box per Achat 108 SUBA.

The frequency response in the data sheets looked good. Also I was impressed by the price, light weight and built-in amplifier. The bundle is at first glance super, but I have later a few Control 1 Pro dazubestellt. The per Achat 204 offered in bundle have according to the data sheet a large S-curve (10dB) between 3 and 4 kHz. Since much smaller deviations in this range are already very good, I decided to use Control 1. These have about 3dB less sound pressure, but are much smoother in frequency response.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of the dwarf. It does not boom, goes quite far down and does not give any crack when switching on and off. The Control 1 Pro also fit well. As a certified electronic technician, of course, also inside the box reingeschaut. As a total of 4 IC's, two for the tops and two in bridge circuit for the woofer. Otherwise, a preamplifier board and a switched power supply is present, everything is processed neatly. Despite the switched power supply, I was able to perceive no noise or crackling with fully up-regulated volume control and without signal source. Great.

The only thing I would have liked to know, which filter is installed: Linkwitz-Riley or Butterworth; 6, 12, 18 or 24 dB / octave.

The mini that does the maxi!

A portable sound system in a bag ?? !!! It's not possible, it's a joke !! And well no it is not! This mini bundle consisting of a small subwoofer of 8 and two small satellites with feet and speaker cables is surprising quality!

Sound level the two pro purchase small sizes deliver a rather flattering sound, nice treble not sharp and well defined and mediums present (but to my taste it should be adjusted with a small equalizer) which does nothing to the Sound quality that remains even with a volume, 3/4 volume, explicit and without exciting the ears! The sound is dispersed by 90/90 which is a plus for listening to the public! The satellites attach themselves to the feet of the right microphones, a little light matter holds and this despite the base of the foot cast, I added weights of small weights 2kg to each foot to ensure good stability and this is its effect. The feet go up to some 180 cm of height which is enough considering the dispersion of the sound 90/90 of the satellites!

The sub is a real great happiness, easily manipulable with its 11kg you will easily take it with one hand with these handles inlaid. The sound is just what it takes to deliver beautiful basses round and warm and it is in perfect match with the pro purchase 204, of course no infrabasses or other because it drops not low enough but even a bass drum Battery good spring with this small sub! The connection is minimalist and you will not be wrong in the connections 2 speaker jacks for satellites, 2 xlr or jack (practical) and 2 rca for mixer or other CDs, etc ... a general adjustment of the volume and a Bass adjustment, power indicator and clip light, Power 220W in total, 100W for the subwoofer and 2x 60W for the satellites.

And all this emerges with a clarity that I did not expect so pretty and the whole watering bars and other cafes concerts of 40 to 60 people with the volume a little higher than the 3/4!

Ideal for my music (the samba), of course you have to stay in the area for which this sound is intended for the base, small places no more than 60 people (wholesale) and not gro rock or metal because it will hold Not the distance (in my opinion!)

The optional bag is a plus as you can wear the PA on the shoulder!

Aesthetic question nothing to say if it is the sub granular painting but it is only a detail and a question of taste!

If you want to sound a small band and have a clear and well defined sound and with a light weight go for it is all good!
